@luckytran I agree with the sentiment, though I feel it’s important distinguish between creating and recreating. AI /machine learning can only produce output based on what it has already encountered in its training dataset. That is to say it cannot create original art, just endless rehashes of stuff it has already encountered. So it’s valid to say that AI cannot produce art that is a genuine firsthand expression of the human condition, although that is referring to creating art, not recreating it. When art gives rise to a response in us, it might be a feeling of empathy, or compassion, or a realisation, then there is a sense that the artist has recreated something in us, which the artist themselves intended. Although we can experience art in a way that the artist did not envisage. AI art comes from no such space of intention, and merely leverages our evolutionary tendency to interpret meaning where we expect to see it expressed. It’s a parlour trick. #AI
